On the box there is written: "XP recommended". When you cannot even install the game and check the readme' problems you find: "the game is WinXP SP2 incompatible".

WTG french UBISoft, you bunch of thieves  :rolleyes:

Well yeah thats why I have Rome Total War. When I saw the screenshots for Alexander it appeared to be very blurry and funny looking.

Have it, installed it, uninstalled it.

It's nothing more then Cossacks and American Conquest with prettier graphics, nothing groundbreaking.

User interface is crap too.

Cossacks is fun as hell.

Bis Bishland bis Bishland bis Bishland wird besiegt!
